So sorry to hear of your loss. Jim was such a great guy and I so enjoyed your visits. Let memories warm your hearts as Jim will always be in your hearts. It will be a comfort to know he is no longer suffering.
May God grant you peace and comfort.
So sorry about Jim’s death. I just hope the sunshine of your wonderful memories will help with the darkness and shadows of death. The promise of the light of heaven will blot them out.
Jim was our neighbor in the country for many years. He cared deeply about our development, volunteering much time and energy to its care and maintenance. Everything he did, he did to his very best ability. We were very sorry to lose him as a neighbor, and are more sorry to learn of his death. Carol, we know that your deep faith will support you more than any words we can say. Know that he will be in our prayers, as will you.
Carol, we are so sorry for your loss. May God grant you and your family peace and comfort. We will be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers!
Carol (Pudgie) I am so sorry to hear of your beloved husband’s death. My prayers will be with you at this heartbreaking time.
We are very sorry to hear of Fritch’s passing. My heart is so full of great memories and friendship! Jimmy Fritch, as Pop always called him. I have kept one of his Hauptmann’s boxes full of precious ole trinkets for over 35 years.
God Bless and Sincere condolences!

Mrs. Fritschie, Teresa, Kristin, and families; I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have wonderful memories of Mr. F waiting in the driveway with Czar for Teresa to get home from carpool and help dry the Suburban! He always had a funny story to tell or a smile to share. This past year I have had the pleasure of seeing him and Mrs F at church. It was so cute, he would see me coming back from communion and say “Hi” fairly loudly. Our prayers are with you all. Hugs.
Carol, I was sorry to see this notice in the paper this morning. Wishing you healing for the hole in your heart – and wishing you peace and even joy as you are able to recall many happy memories of the life that you and Jim built together.
Carol,
So sad to hear about Jims passing.
May he rest in peace.
